Yesterday morning, Jon Hirschtik honored LEDAS by his recent initiative to give our experts a broad 2-hour demo and discussion of the Onshape system whose beta is expected to be released in a couple of weeks.
Just after the release we will present our impressions at isicad.ru and isicad.net but so far we are under NDA.

Geometry Comparison (LGC) makes it easy to compare 3D models and clearly pinpoint all
of the differences between them, which are shown as groups of modified faces.
LGC maps topological elements of two 3D models and restores their
associativity, allowing attributes, parameters, and constraints to be
translated from one model to another. Built-in adjustment technology makes it

A few
days ago, LEDAS issued a press-release which announced that in the last financial year the company attracted ever more software development from global

accidental: at least this can be somehow confirmed by a quote of Alexey Ershov, CEO LEDAS:

I regret
to inform you of the death of Vladimir Malukh (1966 - 2013), one of the most recognized experts in engineering software of the Russian market, the author of the unique monograph "Introduction to CAD", and of about 200 papers at isicad.ru and isicad.net, and many other publications.

of the LEDAS and isicad teams.

at building a geometric 3D-kernel. Until

visited COFES when the event was hardly known in Russia and the CIS; see Vladimir's
